Which BYC member scares you?

[BigBlueHen53]

In the book, The Color of Horses, we are told that all horses are genetically brown. That's why there are so many different names for the different shades of brown, including bay, black, grey, white, buckskin, dun, grulla, etc. The horse we are discussing is called sorrel by Western riders and chestnut by English riders. If I recall correctly. Which I believe I do.

Even palomino. Knew I missed that one. I'm sure there are more.

Off to bed. Good night. None of you scare me. I think y'all are either awesome, funny, weird or incomprehensible. But y'all together are a hoot! Good night!

They're all brown, but which brown, exactly?
This snow is snow, but what kind of snow? Fluffy? Wet? Mashed potatoes? Sleet masquerading as snow like the conniving little snot that it is?
Specifics are very important, but that does not take away from the fact that something may or may not be brown.
... I should go to bed before I ramble on any longer, probably.

Not true! Lipizzaner's are born with black skin, hair color is white.

There are two bases all horse colors are built off of. Chestnut (sorrel) and black. Bay, is black with the agouti gene, which restricts the black pigment to the points of the horse.

Other colors rebuild off of these three bases.

Bay + cream
1 copy: buckskin
2 copies: perlino

Sorrel + cream
1 copy: palomino
2 copies: cremello

Black + cream
1 copy: smokey blac
2 copies: smokey creme

Bay + dun= bay sun/dun
Chestnut + dun= red dun
Black + dun= grulla/blue dun


Bay roan
Red roan
Blue roan

Brown is black with the A^t agouti gene

And you can see it goes on and on, all over those three bases, and the third base uses one of the original two bass
